LA Dodgers win surreal World Series in 2020 #COVID19
Posted By RichC on October 28, 2020
As one newspaper reported, it has been “the weirdest year in baseball history.” The World Series ended Tuesday night with the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the 2020 MLB season’s in game 6 of the World Series. The Tampa Bay Rays were out played with strong pitching by the Dodgers, and although I had totally checked out of the MLB season early on due to polarization the sport over our flag, anthem and protest movement in support of a Marxist-based political organization, I have paid attention to the scores in the playoffs and World Series (just refused to watch – my wimpy protest regarding injecting politics in sports).
After the 3-1 win, the Dodgers gathered on the field for the trophy presentation, but just when I thought the “unattended games” in a neutral field couldn’t get any weirder, we find out that the Dodgers team—third baseman Justin Turner left the game after the seventh inning because of a positive coronavirus test. No explanation for his deparure had been announced while the game was in progress, but yet he still ended up back on the field for the celebration (supposed to have been in isolation).
How fitting to end the 2020 MLB season on a COVID19 note, but my congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers for making it to the end of the season … although as a fan, it was hardly a successful or enjoyable one. Let’s hope for a bit more sanity next year.
